Great Notch Station is a New Jersey Transit station in Little Falls, New Jersey along the Montclair-Boonton Line. Located at the intersection of Notch Road and Long Hill Road, it is the second of three stations in Little Falls, and the first on the line to be strictly diesel trains. This station is served by one eastbound train in the morning and two westbound trains, although there are other trains that bypass the station, in the evening on weekdays. They all terminate at Hoboken, and the eastbound train comes from Lake Hopatcong, while the two westbound trains terminate at Dover and Hackettstown [ [http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/rail/r0030.pdf Montclair-Boonton Line Schedule] , New Jersey Transit, accessed June 6, 2008.] .

Possible closure

Because of the opening of the njt-sta|Wayne-Route 23 station and the presence of the nearby njt-sta|Montclair State University station, the future of this station is in doubt. [http://www.baristanet.com/2008/01/njt_line_is_anemic.php] The future of Great Notch Station was placed in further jeopardy on August 12, 2008, as NJ Transit announced to Little Falls that there was a chance they would close the station as early as October 2008, and that public hearings would be held on the subject.
